A Spiritual Note To The Graduate

A Spiritual Note To The Graduate Graduation is a time of joy, bittersweet tears, and a time you’ll treasure for many years! Through your life you will often reflect on your past. Knowing where you’ve been and mindful of how you continue to grow will shape your bright future. Celebrate today, at this wonderful crossroads of your life, where your past intersects your future and your potential beams and lights the way like a stellar galaxy yet to be discovered. As you walk forward, with your diploma of life thus far, draw on your knowledge, learn from failures and successes and celebrate today aiming higher into tomorrow with confidence as you discover your life’s calling and move toward your aspirations. Take many moments to honor your growth, character and faith, giving thanks when you recognize divine life lessons. Celebrate as you grow in patience, charitable works, and soberness. Rejoice in your ability to steer away from judgment of others and humbled in the way you carry out your ministry of life! You are now a graduate, of age, who will make many independent decisions. You will find that life is no longer a child’s institution where there is a teacher, parent, counselor or principal giving foundational directives. You’ll find that your parents’ or guardians’ role will continue to adapt to your maturity, watching with pride as you spread your independent wings. Continue to feed your heart and soul by surrounding yourself with positive and spiritual people so that your personal growth will abound and astound. We were all created with special gifts from God, each different in skill, tone and temperament. Each day finely tune, polish and continually search to improve and share the gifts you possess with others. Every step you take is an opportunity for another to follow. Whether it is a friend, family member, stranger or child you have influential power and God has given you the grace to go and to do what you cannot do on your own. Look to tomorrow with excitement as you make plans to contribute your best to the world. But today, cherish the gift of the present, protect God’s earth and honor His commandments. Find peace in the quiet, nurture and feed your relationships, and in your own personal garden of life plant and cultivate great seeds of faith. Congratulations!
